- Many reasons to always read the LICENSE
- GitHub is the trap that Microsoft if using to secretly and illegally read your code with total disrespect to its license, in order to train its AI to write better code and, eventually, make you redundant. Change my mind

looking for resources for learning unit testing in go?
Code that's hard to test is just bad code. And unlike most dynamic languages you can't just override some internals in Go (though there are some arcane hacks you can pull of but only at full moon https://github.com/bouk/monkey).

Alternative for Monkey patching
I am a new gopher. I was looking into the Monkey Patching module and it is archived now. I was wondering if there is an alternative for that.

Why go plugin addresses do not load with go binary
Here is an example of this in Go - but as he says, don't actually do this. https://github.com/bouk/monkey

is there an easy (python like way) to do mocks?
I discovered this lib a few days ago. https://github.com/bouk/monkey it allows you to monkey patch entire functions, replacing them by whatever you want. Perfect for mocking. It's simple to use. The program is hard patching the code using assembly to replace the function address at runtime. You should not use this lib out of your tests since it's absolutely not safe. It's only compatible with linux and windows. But it works great!
